A Normal Life

Chapter Nine: New Friends, Old Enemies
Duo was with Deathscythe Hell Custom. He was pacing back and forth, talking to
it as if it would answer back.
"I can't believe those two! They just up and leave without a 'Goodbye' or a 'I'll be
back'! There wasn't even a note!" he fumed, glancing at his Gundam every once in a
while. The clearing of a throat directed his attention elsewhere.
"Um, I hate to interrupt, but do you happen to know where Relena is?" Shiri
asked. Duo turned, blushing furiously, forgetting about his ranting and raving for a
couple of seconds.
"No I don't. Both she and Heero are missing," he said. Shiri smirked at his face,
attempting not to laugh.
"Well, if ya see her, let her know she owes me a match, k?"
"Sure," he said, and when Shiri started leaving, he added, "If they ever come
back."
"What was that?" she asked, whipping around.
"I said 'If they ever come back.'"
"Why would you say something like that?"
"Well, they've been gone for a couple of days. For all we know, they've gotten
married and aren't returning," he replied casually, shrugging.
"Relena would never abandon us!" Shiri yelled. Duo and she stared at each other,
and said at the same time, "Yes she would!" They burst out in laughter.
"Sure...she would, bu-but could you-" Shiri started, but Duo cut her off.
"See H-Heero running to -"
"Vegas to get married in an-"
"Elvis Chapel!!!" they both said in unison again. That made them both lose it
completely, falling on the floor next to each other, banging on the floor, and crying from
the laughter.
"What's so funny?" Quatre asked, staring in disbelief at the two pilots. Shiri
looked up and noticed that Alondra was with him.
"We were just attempt-attempting to picture H-Heero and Relena g-getting
married in an Elvis Chapel in Vegas!!!" she answered, starting a round of giggles again.
Quatre and Alondra smiled at the two, stepped over them, and headed to Sandrock
Custom.
"Yo Quatre! Where ya going?!" Duo questioned, raising an eyebrow in between
smiling.
"Yeah Alondra! Where are you two going together?" Shiri yelled, calming a bit.
Quatre blushed while Alondra glared.
"He's gonna show me his Gundam, that's all," Alondra said angrily. Both Duo and
Shiri smiled evilly at the remark, and broke into fits of laughter when the other two
blushed a bright red color and stalked away.
"Hey Duo, I got an idea!' Shiri said, smiling devilishly again. Duo did the same,
and they started whispering and planning something for Quatre and Alondra.

Jeremiah carefully found his way to the base of the scientists in L.A.
"So this is where my new home will be, huh?" he whispered to himself. He
shrugged, and started making his way to the building, carefully dodging and avoiding
security systems and guards.

Trowa and Amara were both sitting in the library on base, reading books. Amara
was reading Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, and Trowa was reading The
Odyssey, by Homer.
"Hmmm..." Amara whispered, but Trowa still heard her.
"Is something wrong?"
"What? Oh, no, I'm just upset about the plot so far, that's all," Amara replied.
"I read that before. It's really good."
"I know. We read it in English, remember? But I've read this many times before,
and each time it still affects me greatly."
"Yes it does. It just goes to show that love is a powerful tool."
"I agree-" Amara stopped when she heard a loud BOOM! followed by a CRASH!
"Maybe we should-"
"Definitely," Amara said, as she and Trowa darted out the door, down the hall,
and toward the hanger.

Wufei was in another fight with Duo, while Isis and Shiri attempted to stop it.
"Wufei, he didn't mean it! He was only joking!" Isis yelled, trying to hold him.
"Let me go woman! Justice must be served!" he screamed, struggling to get free.
Shiri grabbed his arms too, attempting to hold him back while Duo stood there, eyes
bulging out of his head.
"What's going on?" Amara screamed. Everyone turned to see Amara and Trowa
standing there, utterly confused about what they saw.
"Maxwell showed dishonor towards Nataku! Now I must punish him!" Wufei
yelled, still struggling in Isis and Shiri's grip.
"Oh no you don't, Wu-man! Duo did not mean it!" Shiri said, tightening her grip
on his arm. Duo was still in a trance.
"Yo! Duo! Hello?! You there?!" Amara said, waving her arms in his face. He
finally broke the trance and stared at her.
"Wh-what?" he asked, confusion on his face. Then he saw Wufei, and he
remembered. He started laughing at the site.
"Oh my gosh! I-if only you could s-see yourself, Wu-man!" he huffed, laughing
hysterically. Wufei turned five shades of red, and gritted his teeth.
"MY NAME IS WUFEI! AND YOU ARE GOING TO DIE MAXWELL!!!" He
broke free of the girls' grip, throwing them to the ground. They glared at him and started
chasing him, as he started chasing Duo, who was running faster than ever before now.
"..." was all that Amara and Trowa could say, as they stood there, huge sweat
drops on their foreheads. Quatre and Alondra showed up a few minutes later, and they
knew exactly what had happened. They too sweat dropped, and shook there heads
disapprovingly. Suddenly, two shots were heard, and everyone paused in place. Duo was
climbing the wall, and Wufei, Isis, and Shiri weren't far behind. Everyone looked around
frantically, and found the source of the shots.
"What is going on here?" Relena asked, tucking her gun away. Heero did the
same.
"If anyone should have questions to answer, it's you," Duo growled, jumping
down. Wufei was back in the girls' grasps, as Duo walked away.
"Yeah. Duo said you've been missing for a while. Where were you?" Shiri said,
equally angry. Heero glared, and Relena shook her head.
"If you must know, we had missions to complete, and they were confidential,"
Heero explained, joining Quatre and the other three who hadn't been running around.
Those four just stared at the two.
"You were missing?" Trowa asked. The others had confusion on their faces too.
"Yeah. We've been gone for about four days," Relena explained. The others
looked in disbelief.
"Huh, and I thought you were just hiding from us," Wufei said, now calmed
down. Before anyone could continue, a couple of shots were heard, followed by yelling.
"Stop him! He's entering the hanger!"
A teenage boy darted down the stares, and passed the group.
"Hey, isn't that-"
"Yep, Heero. He's here," Relena said, running after him.
"Jeremiah, stop! It's Relena!" she screamed. The figure paused on the other set
of stares, turning back to her.
"Oh...thank...god," he panted, stumbling down the stares. He fell hitting the
bottom stare, and started plummeting to the floor, but someone caught him. He looked
up into the face of a girl with brown hair, tan skin, and brown eyes.
An angel, he thought, falling into darkness.
"Angel?" Jade whispered. He didn't realize that he said his thoughts. She picked
his head up and cradled him.
"Is he okay?" Relena asked. She bent down as the others gathered to see the
stranger.
"He's lost lots of blood, Lena. Look," Jade said, lifting up his shirt, to reveal a
slash across his side. Blood had seeped through.
"We need to get him to the medical room quickly. Can you fix him up?" Relena
asked Jade. She stared at her wide eyed and nodded.
"Great."
"Lena, who is this?" Quatre asked. Relena motioned for everyone to follow her.
"I'll explain everything, but first we need to find the scientists."
"Sure," Shiri said. Everyone went to the lab, unsure of the new situation.
